'History & Computing' and 'Humanities Computing' are in a crucial phase of development. The cultural heritage sector is turning digital, and ever more archival and other historically relevant sources are becoming available online. As a result there is a need for innovative methods and techniques to process the flood of digital resources.

Currently, computer scientists show a keen interest in the information problems of cultural heritage and the humanities. Advances in grid computing and the semantic web are stimulating a new kind of e-Science. e-Culture, e-Humanities and even e-History. This volume contains about fifty contributions presented at the XVIth international conference of the Association for History and Computing, that took place in Amsterdam from September 14th till 17th 2005.
